How to use Pure Data Start from download and initial setting
I'm yosi, the caretaker of Chillout with Beats.
I've always been interested in it, but I'll gradually learn Pure Data that I didn't touch.
I will start from the state of zero knowledge myself, so I will write it so that I can understand it if I have some knowledge.
First of all, there is already a lot of information on the Japanese site, so please refer to this as well.
What is Pure Data from this site?I quoted.
PureData (Pd) is a real-time graphical programming environment for audio, video and video processing. Pd isMiller packetDeveloped by him and maintained and expanded by many volunteer engineers.
Pd is free software and works on any platform of MacOSX, Windows and Linux.It also works with Pocket PCs, handheld devices and old Mac OS.
What can you do with Pd?
The following things can be realized with Pd.
- Make a synthesizer
- Make a sampler
- Make a rhythm machine
- Make various audio effectors
- Spectrum analysis
- XNUMXD video processing / generation
- Visualize sound
But this is just one example.Projects involving networks, data logging, depending on ingenuityArduinoIn combination with installations and the generation of self-made musical instruments,OSC communicationIt is also possible to cooperate with other hardware and software by doing.Of course, Pd can handle MIDI as well. You can play your synth with your own MIDI keyboard, or you can receive MIDI signals from your DAW and play the music you typed in your DAW with your own synth. It will be done.
PureData seems to be abbreviated as Pd, so from now on, it will be referred to as Pd except for the title.
Pd and Max seem to be quite close because the same developer is involved.
Therefore, if you learn with free Pd, you will naturally improve your understanding of Max, and you will realize that it is delicious twice with one grain.
